So...
One of the other editors in my company, a guy who's more senior than me and who I will acknowledge is actually better than me at translation and editing, came back with a long and detailed reply on why he felt his way of doing this task is more suitable than the version I produced, and that while he believes there is merit in seeing different approaches to this task, he believes that my approach cannot be used as a universal template because individual situations will vary, and he thinks it would be overly restrictive to limit ourselves to a template.
And then the company higher-up wrote a long and detailed rebuttal about why this editor's approach does not work well, and should frankly be abandoned, and that my version is how things will be done in the future.
And now people are apparently taking sides and I'm all like, "I have no idea what's going on here, I just did a task to the best of my abilities and it seems I've accidentally started an argument."
